Since I have found that Mars opposed to Uranus can strike within a ten-day period, you will have to hold your breath to see if any unexpected financial news comes up anytime until August 16.

（火星と天王星との対峙は10日間に及びますから、8/16まではいつ何時予期せぬ金銭上のニュースがわき起こるか、息をひそめて待つ必要があります。）

• "hold your breath" の形で、「息をひそめて（かたずを飲んで）何かが起こるのを待つ」という意味。日本語と発想は近いんだけど、英語の場合は "not hold your breath" と否定形にすることで「何かが起こるという期待をしない（do not expect something to happen, even though someone has said it will）」という意味で使えるのが面白い。
  • I've been just holding my breath and hoping they'll call me back for an interview.
  • The election was so close that I held my breath until the final results were in.
  • I'm hoping to hear if I got the job, but I'm not holding my breath.
  • She wants the company to apologize for damaging her reputation, but she isn't holding her breath.
  • He promised he'd phone, but I'm not holding my breath.　←私にもこんな友人がいるw
• "Don't hold your breath" ＝「それはきっとないから期待するなよ」と命令形で使うことも多い。
  • She said she'd phone but don't hold your breath.
  • If you're waiting for the next big cut in computer prices to buy that powerful new machine, don't hold your breath.
  • They may get married this summer, but don't hold your breath.
